Ranked from least to most expensive, see which six new cars are the\nmost affordable for the average American\n.\nMitsubishi Mirage\nStarting price:\n$18,015\nTaking first place in this roundup is the\n2024 Mitsubishi Mirage\n, which Car and Driver quoted at a starting price of $18,015. The Mirage also landed in second place in\nKelley Blue Book’s\nranking of the cheapest new cars of 2024-2025.\nAffordability aside, the Mitsubishi Mirage is available to shop both as a hatchback and sedan and boasts an excellent fuel economy. And while the biggest critique is that the Mirage is a bit slower than other vehicles, it has been described as ideal for city residents thanks to the vehicle’s size and efficiency.\nLearn More:\nMechanics Explain Why You Should Never Buy These 6 Popular Car Brands\nBe Aware:\n9 Cars To Stay Away From in Retirement\nKia Forte\nStarting price:\n$21,145\nThe 2024 Kia Forte took third place in KBB’s cheapest new cars ranking for this year. \nLike the Mitsubishi Mirage, the\nKia Forte\nmay not inspire instant envy from other drivers but it’s a great value for the price especially when it comes to its interior. There’s plenty of cabin room inside the Kia Forte and it looks stylish, too.\nCheck Out:\n12 SUVs With the Most Reliable Engines\nNissan Sentra\nStarting price:\n$21,725\nThere’s a lot of pros in favor of shopping for the Nissan Sentra, including a spacious cabin, comfortable seating, solid fuel economy and a bevy of safety features. \nWhat we personally enjoy is that the Nissan Sentra has a reasonable price tag for its 2024 and 2025 models. The $21,725 price quoted above is for the\n2024 model\nwhile the starting price for the 2025 model is $22,730.\nHyundai Elantra\nStarting price:\n$22,775\nThe\n2024 Hyundai Elantra\nis well worth the value as a compact sedan. It has even been noted by Car and Driver as an excellent vehicle to buy if you’re a first-time driver. \nBuyers get to benefit from its inexpensive pricing and the vehicle’s overall fuel efficiency, sleek exterior and roomy interior. \nView More:\n5 SUVs Retirees Should Avoid Buying in October 2024\nToyota Corolla\nStarting price:\n$23,185\nFor the best of both worlds including affordable pricing and reliability, we couldn’t not include the\n2024 Toyota Corolla\non this list. \nThe Corolla is a practical purchase for all drivers, whether you have a family or are a working professional. Updated technology within the Corolla also keeps safety at the forefront with features like LED headlights and wireless smartphone integration.\nVolkswagen Jetta\nStarting price:\n$23,220\nAt just under $25,000, we handed the sixth spot in this ranking to the\n2025 Volkswagen Jetta\n. The Jetta parked into KBB’s 10th place as one of the year’s cheapest cars and comes with plenty of bang for its buck. \nSome of the biggest perks of the Jetta include its spacious interior, good fuel economy and an IQ.Drive driver-assist suite from Volkswagen to explore. As a bonus for drivers trying to save extra money, Car and Driver said the 2025 model is slightly cheaper to buy than the 2024 model.\nPhoto disclaimer: Some photos are for illustrative purposes only and might not feature exact models, base models or the car’s specific trim levels.

The Mirage also landed in second place in [Kelley Blue Book’s](https://www.kbb.com/best-cars/cheapest-new-cars/) ranking of the cheapest new cars of 2024-2025.

The Jetta parked into KBB’s 10th place as one of the year’s cheapest cars and comes with plenty of bang for its buck. Some of the biggest perks of the Jetta include its spacious interior, good fuel economy and an IQ.Drive driver-assist suite from Volkswagen to explore.
